Requesting some web layout advice..please
I'm after some advice on how to redo the following page to make it as small as possible. The looping movie in the middle is just there as a test really so ignore that. But I've got cells, border effects, image buttons galore and I'm wanting to redo it as small as possible.
The news and biog buttons are the only ones that link to other pages so far as its currently only in test stage. Hence the lack of content.
I was going to try using just one image button and have different text in each cell, instead of loads of buttons. Any thoughts on this? I also wondered about the button image being the background of the cell.
I don't really know much about CSS but would this be the best option for me to explore?
Each page will look like this with different content in the middle screen.
If someone could advise on how I could minimise the page size with the layout I have, I'd be very grateful.
I'd like to avoid the page going blank when it goes to a new page of the same layout. I know once each page is loaded you can go back to them and they're quite seamless - but is there a way of doing this first time?
Preloading pages? Using frames?

CSS is the way to go. You'd be separating out all the junk in each page, cleaning it into one file. You would definately drop your file size significantly. I'd also drop the frames completely, they have some major downfalls which will come back to haunt you in time.
Essentially, all you have is a 3 column layout:
link 1
link 2
link 3
google search
With lists in those elements. Work on your CSS skills by attempting to build off of these examples, and reading up at:
To shrink your files you need to start:
Not using any tables (unless for tabular data)
all styles such as fonts, colors, backgrounds in CSS
HTML is semantic
There are some excellent site examples at:

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook faces the challenge of crafting the company's strategy following the death of Steve Jobs, a man he called "a visionary and creative genius."
Cook, who became CEO on Aug. 24 after Jobs switched to the role of chairman, announced his predecessor's death yesterday in a message to employees.
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," Cook, 50, said in the memo. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
The announcement came one day after Cook took the stage to introduce a new iPhone, marking his first product unveiling since taking the reins. To maintain Apple's growth, he will have to push into more new markets, continue the company's Asian expansion and execute a shift to cloud computing.
Apple's shares rose $5.19, or 1.4 percent, to $383.44 at 10:42 a.m. New York time on the Nasdaq Stock Market. They had climbed 17 percent this year before today.
Jobs hired Cook from Compaq Computer Corp. in 1998, and the deputy soon proved his mettle as an operations expert. Cook transformed inventory management to enable Apple to ship the iconic iMac in a rainbow of colors, deviating from the typical plain beige box. He later was able to orchestrate the speedy delivery of iPods, iPads and iPhones -- often within 48 hours -- to help forge an army of Apple loyalists.
'Not Going to Change'
Cook must now take up the mantle of charting Apple's creative vision, something he was less involved with in his previous job as chief operations officer.
Following Jobs's retirement as CEO, Cook said to employees that "Apple is not going to change" and he reiterated that thought yesterday: "We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much."
Cook led the company when Jobs was out during three medical leaves. Though he's a counterpoint to Jobs's more emotional personality, the men are two sides of the same coin, said Mike Janes, who used to run Apple's online store. Both are demanding leaders with an attention to detail.
"Despite their style differences, their intensity is basically equal," Janes, now the CEO of tickets search engine FanSnap.com, said in an interview earlier this year. "They are both perfectionists."
Different Approach
Jobs's absence was palpable throughout the 90-minute introduction of the iPhone 4S this week at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
"This is my first product launch since being named CEO," Cook said, the only Jobs reference, if veiled, at the entire event. "I'm sure you didn't know that."
Jobs was renowned for stirring, meticulously rehearsed pitches. Cook delivered his remarks more slowly and methodically, and he let other executives do much of the presentation.
"There's no way to replace Steve Jobs -- and there were times during the performance that you felt that," said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos.
Still, Cook is the right man to carry on the vision, Munster said.
"Jobs's final act as CEO was another of his many great accomplishments," Munster said yesterday in a report. He reiterated his endorsement of Apple's stock. "Cook is capable of running Apple, but his rare combination of extreme humility and insatiable motivation make him uniquely suited to continue Jobs's work as CEO and carry on his vision with a peerless executive team."
Long Hours
Cook is typically found working long hours at the company's headquarters or traveling around the world to meet with suppliers and manufacturers, Janes said. Cook led the company's negotiations with Verizon Wireless to bring the iPhone to that carrier in the U.S. this year.
During his 13 years at Apple, Cook has mastered an expanding list of operational roles, including manufacturing, distribution, sales and customer service.
"We have great confidence in Tim Cook, who is a partner of high quality," Stephane Richard, CEO of France Telecom SA, said in an interview the day Jobs stepped down. Richard's company provides carrier service for the iPhone.
Google Threat
While Cook was Jobs's choice for successor, he hasn't had much time to demonstrate whether he can rally the company's roughly 50,000 employees as effectively as Jobs, who steered Apple into industries as varied as mobile phones, music downloads and retailing.
Cook also faces mounting competition, in part because of Apple's foray into new markets. Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android has emerged as the biggest smartphone operating system, bolstered by HTC Corp. (2498), Samsung Electronics Co. and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. adopting the software. Google said Aug. 15 it planned to purchase Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
Investors, meanwhile, may be more likely to pressure Cook to use some of Apple's cash -- now more than $75 billion, including long-term holdings -- for a dividend or stock buyback.
"He's a very competent corporate manager," said Apple investor Peter Sorrentino, a senior portfolio manager at Huntington Asset Advisors in Cincinnati, which oversees $14.8 billion in assets. "People are going to be looking for that crack of weakness, and they'll be looking at him a lot closer than they look at Steve."
ICloud Service
In addition to overhauling the company's supply chain, Cook also has led the company into new markets. Sales in China reached $3.8 billion in the last reported quarter, up sixfold from a year ago. The company is looking to fuel more growth with its new iCloud service, which stores files online.
To maintain its streak of innovations, Cook will have to lean on a corps of executives. Jonathan Ive oversees a staff of product designers that is considered among the best in the world. Scott Forstall leads development of Apple's mobile software. Bob Mansfield runs hardware engineering, and Peter Oppenheimer is chief financial officer. The executive team, which often meets on Monday mornings to receive sales updates and discuss strategy, has been together for years.
"The team here has an unparalleled breadth and depth of talent and a culture of innovation that Steve has driven in the company," Cook said in January. "Excellence has become a habit."
Companies such as Nike Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. have thrived without their iconic leaders, said John Connors, a venture capitalist at Ignition Partners and former finance chief at Microsoft Corp. He and Cook sit on Nike's board, which oversaw the retirement of CEO Phil Knight.
"The good Lord created one Steve Jobs, but he only created one Phil Knight and Nike is still an enormous success," Connors said. "I am sure the world will see in the next several years that Tim is a very uniquely gifted guy and Apple will be wildly successful under his leadership."

Determine partial file size during download using PHP's copy() function
So I am downloading .flv video files from my remote server using the php copy() function, and saving them the my local site. I want to get the .tmp or file size at each interval of 1 second during the download for progress. Does php create a tmp file during this download operation?
IF not, is it possible to open the file and determine its size while it is being copied?

Emotional Differences with Men and Woman
By Craig Miller
The emotionally minded person (often the women) would comment to the rational man, "Why are you making such a fuss over that new truck? Why don't you make a fuss over me?" Women don't understand why a man has more emotion about the things in life than with people. This sends confusing messages, only building disappointment when the emotional mate does not get the love he or she expects. Similar to Jennifer's reaction to her husband Brad, I often hear women with heartbreaking stories about their insensitive partner giving a deaf ear, insults, or joking remarks, after the woman expresses feelings. It becomes disappointing and hurtful to the emotional mate when feelings are not as important or accepted compared to other areas of the partner's life. This scenario happens more in the emotionless relationship than people are willing to admit, believing they are destined to live that way.
Women deal with life first by relating emotionally and socially. This is why Jennifer's heart was crushed when the neighbor made an unkind comment about the recipe she had shared a week earlier. Jennifer's sharing of the recipe was a form of connecting, reaching out, and sharing part of her. However, if the recipe was rejected, Jennifer felt rejected. This is one of the biggest differences between men and women. The man interprets giving the recipe not as a relationship but simply as the giving of information. Jennifer interpreted the information as sharing part of her life. Once a woman talks or cries out what she feels, she becomes more logical. The man needs to help the woman work through the situation by letting her cry and talk out how she feels about the situation. Then she will be able to move closer to the logical part.
God actually knew what He was doing when he created man and woman to function very differently. The saying "opposites attract" is truer than you may give credit. Women were created with a greater ability to perceive what is happening around them (intuition) and the ability to accurately identify needs, desires, wants, and displeasures in order to increase control over the stresses of life. Men were created with a greater ability to be effectively practical and develop a sense of trust to build security and safety with those around them. Men tend to have a greater ability to logically relate with people and things, providing a great strength to initiate rational thinking to accurately understand the reasons why situations happen.
You need those opposites to function more effectively and efficiently together. For example, when there is a decision to be made, the emotional attributes of one partner and the logical attributes of the other should work together for a more balanced decision. You do not want to make a decision solely based on emotions and later regret the decision. For the same reason, you do not want to make a decision based solely on logic without considering the personal effects of that decision. The attributes of each partner should complement each other, creating a well-functioning union.
Seek professional counseling with a counselor that has experience dealing with the emotional differences of men and women. Get a copy of my book, When Your Mate Has Emotionally Checked Out for more details of what to do. You can go to my web site for more resources and my email to contact me at email@example.com or receive counseling if you are able to come to our clinic at Masterpeace Counseling in Tecumseh, Michigan.

Transition: Risk or opportunity!
Blog Entry:
September 23, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: By Neil A. Dick
Neil Dick is managing principal of Shaker Heights-based DickGroup Consultants.
Privately held architectural, engineering, and construction related firms are facing issues that most have never had to deal with. Service firms of all types usually only have one major asset – their people. And many of these firms are being led by baby boomers who would like to retire, or at least move on. Since it is the principal who not only is running the firm, but is also its chief asset, selling out and moving on is not really a practical solution. It needs to be about creating a legacy and not a funeral.
So why do we want to even talk about this? Because doing nothing is not an option! In the corporate world, succession planning is a real world event. In our world, it has to be more than just a transition plan. Our planning process has to capture all the value that the principal moving out can possibly give – and it quite often is all about personal contacts and networks that are the most important.
The effort has to start by developing a transition plan that outlines a three- to five-year process. It needs to address ownership and practice as separate but related issues. This is really the "exit plan" that is often talked about as part of the original business plan. To understand that factor, let's examine the options:
Sell the business and get out.
Sell over time to your staff/partners.
Close the door and walk away – a do-nothing approach.
Keep the ownership and transition the management to others.
Bring in new partners.
Look for a merger or acquisition.
Take your chance that you are going to live forever.
These are the choices. What you want to get out of the effort will greatly influence which one is best. You need to look at:
Getting the best return on your years of investment.
Creating a legacy.
Giving staff the opportunity to become owners.
Acknowledging the need of other skill sets to successfully run a business.
Creating an incentive for others to participate.
The first step in the transition process is doing an assessment of the firm and the key staff along with doing a
(SWOT) session to better understand who and what you are. Then, looking at that, you can determine what you want to get out of the business and how best to make that happen. If there are multiple existing owners or other key principals involved, they all have to be included in this effort.
Select a facilitator from outside of the firm but one who understands your "industry" that can lead the process. This facilitator can then lead in the development of a strategic plan to achieve the goal. While you might have more than one option, it is best to focus on only one of the options and write the plan around that. You might have to utilize financial and legal advisers at some point in the process.
The strategic plan has to have commitments from all parties involved, time schedules, milestones and goals. When the goals of the strategic plan have been achieved, the business plan is developed that will lead to ultimate success. It all starts by committing to making transition happen.

I love this color! It is very highly pigmented and showed up really well on my skin! It is a bold statement whether worn alone or with another color. On the downside, it is a lustre and I accidentally dropped the case...it crumbled everywhere! What bit I could salvage, I placed in a zip lock baggy until I was ready to use it.
This is my first MAC eyeshadow, I bought it a few days ago. I love it! It shows up beautifully on my lids and really brings out my dark green eyes. I haven't had the fallout problem like many people here, though. Overall, my HG eyeshadow for now!
Was not impressed with this at all! Color is pretty, but did not show up on me at all, not even after applying several layers, or applying with a sponge applicator.
Blah.. this made me look sick. I am not sure exactly why, usually I love this type of color on me. I am NC15 w/ light green eyes. The glitter in this was also a little to chunky for my liking. Wish I had picked something else.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
despite its ugly price, I absolutely love Honeylust. it is my HD shadow color; it makes my blue eyes really pop without it seeming like I'm wearing hardly anything(and this can be difficult for me, since I'm so pale). my search for this exact shade is finally over and I'm so glad I forked over the cash. the shadow itself goes on and stays on very well without any sort of primer. I would recommend this to anyone, but especially NW15/NW20 with blue eyes.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I never use this type of colour on my lids, ever , so I don't really know how come I bought this one.... but I'm so glad I did! Honey Lust is a coppery, orange-y, glitter/shimmery shadow, which looks amazing on tan skin. I have blue eyes and this really brings out the blue colour in my eyes. I keep taking a second look in the mirror, thinking ''oohhh my eyes are popping''. Of course the packaging is great (love the MAC shadow pots), but I had to take a lippie off because of the shadow (the glitter probably) just goes everywhere when applying it! I keep having to wipe off excess glitter below my eyes. I read here that this one is best applied wet - I haven't yet tried that so will give it a go.
Another tip, apply this (lightly and sparingly!)on top of a darker shadow (I used a black smokey shadow) ... it gives a lovely shimmery sheen to it.
Honey Lust is a gorgeous bronze-y gold with tons of shimmer. It has the most pigment and applies the smoothest when used wet. It looks great with Carnberry and/or Sketch. I love it!

This was the very first MAC eyeshadow I ever bought. The color is beautiful, and really plays up bronze skin and brown eyes. It works bebst when you prep your lids first. I use painterly, then apply over that.

COLOR: Honey Lust looks beautiful against my yellow toned NC30 skin
DISCRIPTION: Honey Lust is a golden glitter eyeshadow
PIGMENT: Great pigment but I apply this with my finger or sponge tip application. It looks awful when applied with a brush.
SMELL: None
CONTAINER: Large black case.
WOULD I BUY AGAIN: YES! This is my first MAC eyeshadow. I love the color and can be used for special occasions or everyday.

An interesting if slightly odd nose of reduction and menthol notes added to wild, ripe and layered red berry fruit aromas that complement the gamy and completely backward flavors that are highly complex and possess a firm and mouth coating texture. This isn't necessarily a wine of finesse or elegance but there is character to burn and as usual, I quite like this. In a word, stunning.

Exclusive Fake Open Letter From Snooki to The Situation, Re: Her 'Rolls of Fat'
In a recent interview, Jersey Shore's "The Situation" defended his actions in publicly calling out fellow housemate "Snooki" on the "rolls" of fat on her otherwise perfect beach body.
For her part, the muffin-topped shore girl took it like the street-toughened guidette that she is, shrugging off the incident and claiming that she still hooks up with The Situation, on an as-needed basis.
Romantic as this may be, Celebuzz has obtained a completely fictitious copy of a personal letter written from Snooki to the Situation regarding the "rolls" comment which shows that this booze-guzzling imp has a bit more sensitivity to her character that some might suspect.
(Note: this letter obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request with the government of Jersey Shore.)
She's one special lady.

If you're looking for somequick inspiration for something unique and special to do for your man on a 'blah-blah day'…than visit www.passionup.com. This website is worth the small membership fee~~~it features printable Love Poetry, printable Erotic Coupons, printable Romantic Cards…just to specify a few topics of Seductive Expertise offered at this site!
Want to find the best Sex Everything? Than go online to www.janesguide.com, where they critique the complete sex industry, from erotica writings and nude photography, to xxx porno. If you want to become more comfortable with becoming his sex object, the site will also give you online addresses and links to other internet sites that feature "girl-next-door" photos, vintage pin-up girls and glamour nudes. One of my best girl-friends, Giovanna, had a glamour semi-nude, black-and-white photo taken for her husband for Valentine's Day. Just seeing that picture on his dresser gives her a sex-shot-of-confidence boost every day...and it's something wonderful for him to look at as she has been in Iraq since September 2006. You have everything it takes to be sexually confident; all you need to do is explore your own imagination.
Always make sure that you have your man's favorite after-sex goodies on-hand~~~comfort foods such as:hot wings, cold/frozen pizza, chocolate chips cookies, potato chips, beer. If you are his wife, his live-in fiancée or his live-in girlfriend, continuing to do this deed for him will make it more extraordinary for him because this sort of romantic kindness regularly fades away after a relationship bonds and settles down. I'd also like to point-out that having all his favorite foods handy after sex can also double your pleasure. I don't know about you, but I for one love a sugary strawberry sundae after a good hard fuck! If someone could manage to find a way to market a Porn and Oreos combo, shit, it would kick-up porn to a trillion dollar industry!

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Father in custody after 4-year-old found wandering streets of Grand RapidsGRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A 4 year old boy was found wandering the streets of Grand Rapids early Friday morning, wearing nothing more than his pajamas, and now the boy's father is behind bars.The boy was not wearing very much at all--police say his mother told them he was asleep when she left the house with another child for what was apparently some kind of medical emergency.But when the boy woke up and found out he was alone, he took off.It was a dark, cold morning, with temperatures hovering in the 20's.That's why when a driver, Alicia Copeland, saw the boy wandering alone around 5 a.m., she called 9-1-1."I'm just totally shocked to hear that--it's freezing out here and nobody should be out here in the cold let alone a toddler," Copeland said.Copeland says she can't imagine how that could happen."Why is they by theyself?" she asked. "Where is the supervision in all this? Its crazy, its just crazy."Police say the boy's mother told them she had to take her other child to the hospital--so she left the 4-year-old home alone--knowing his father would be home soon.But when the child woke up and found he was alone-- police say he left the house in his pajamas with just socks on his feet.Police say the boy made it about two blocks before anyone saw him at a busy intersection--when they arrived, they were able to trace his footprints back home.Back at home they found the boy's father, 24 year old Alfidio Cruz, who they realized was wanted on a warrant for 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct in Kentwood.Cruz was arrested and the boy was placed in the care of Child Protective Services.As for neighbors like Copeland--they're thankful someone saw the boy and called for help."They'd have found a child out here froze to death--I mean that's crazy," she said. "I'm glad my neighbors, like I said, we watch out for each other; I'm just glad one of us caught it."The case has been turned over to CPS, and police are continuing their investigation.It's likely it will go to the prosecutor, who will decide if any charges will be filed.

An archive is a collection of historical records, or the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of an organization. In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings.

Critical Moments: On The Next Iron Chef, Tio Shines and Estes Serves One Bad Apple
by Simon Majumdar in Shows, October 25th, 2010Next Iron Chef judge Simon Majumdar joins us on the FN Dish each week to share his insider's take on what went down Sunday night.
I am sure my heart sank as fast as those of the chefs when we were told that the next elimination challenge would take place at the San Diego State Fair. Fairs can be fun, but they are hardly renowned for providing memorable culinary moments, unless you are intrigued by what the food stands can possibly find to deep fry next. The thought of trying seven assorted plates of fair fare had me rummaging in the bathroom cabinet for the extra-strength antacid as I packed to head South.
That the chefs managed to produce anything worth eating was remarkable; that some of them managed to create delicious dishes was truly astonishing. Among the highlights were Chef Forgione's deep fried root beer, Chef Caswell's frogs legs and Chef Chauhan's "who knew?" avocado and chocolate beignet.
For once, it was Chef Tio who came out of her favorite hiding place, in the middle of the pack, to produce the three dishes that really met the Chairman's challenge head on. Particular mention should go to her stunning fish taco and to a funnel cake which removed all the bad memories of my previous ghastly experience of the fryer's art. If she keeps up this level of cooking, she is still very much in the game to be the Next Iron Chef.
The game was well and truly up for quirky Chef Estes, however. It was apt that a state fair was the location for her last stand, as her performances so far had been up and down like a roller coaster. When she was good, the judges admired her spirit. When she was bad, however, all the shouting in the world about "seasonal" and "local" produce was unlikely to save her. One bad apple, in this case one that resembled The Creature From the Black Lagoon, was enough for the judges to decide to send her scurrying back to Sonoma.
Look inside Chef Estes' Next Iron Chef journal and flip through our behind-the-scenes gallery from Episode 4.

Thank goodness Tio won the top prize this week. I don't think I could stand that egomaniac Canora winning it again. Talk about a very good week for Tio. Let's hope she keeps going.
I know what you mean about Canora. He'd throw his mother under a bus if it would make him look good.You can give honest criticism without being snarky about it. He's a total ass and comes across as one especially if he thinks someone else has done something better than he has. . If he wins it will be a sad, sad day for Iron Chef America,
And nof forgetting when Chef Tio won last week (which I was very happy for her), Canora said there were other dishes better than hers! I smelled sour grapes!
if u think chef canora is an egomaniac, then ur not watching chef tsao very closely, he is the most obnoxious individual i have ever seen…..if there is a god, simon, symon & donatella will can his sorry ass
I think Tsai (not Tsao – if you're going to criticize somebody by name, at least get the name right!) comes across that way because he has the most to lose…he's already had his own TV shows, has multiple restaurants and has put out best selling cookbooks, so he comes in as not only an 'insider' but also the front runner that the wannabes – never heard of any of these people except Forgione, and that's only because I've heard of his father – are gunning for. So of course he's going to be edited in a certain way to heighten the tension. Most of these people come across as extremely full of themselves with the exception of chefs Tio and Chauhan. And that includes Miss "Local and Sustainable" who couldn't produce a decent pork dish a couple weeks ago despite having her own pig farm and that clueless woman who was eliminated last week. Good riddance to both.
Added to the fact that Chef Tsai can probably out judge most of the judges at any Ion Chef events. I mean…some of these people had a few restaurants or a book. Ming Tsai has them all.
However, I think he will lose. It's set up this way as he is by far the biggest star they have on the show. Then he might a show on FN of his own like Chef Vs. City (which I enjoy enormously).
And exactly how has Chef Tsai been obnoxious?…he hardly says anything…Tony g…do you and Canora have something in common? I agree with Chef Tsai maybe he had better be more strategic with Chef Canora's offerings…watching the show tonight…where Canora again is making judgments based on his strategy to win rather than being honest about who is preparing the best dishes…More and more Chef Canora proves he is not a very nice guy…Karma is aB…this behavior may come back to bite him in his posterior.
I actually feel a bit sorry for Chef Tsao. He walked in there with a gigantic target on his back sure in the knowledge that almost everyone would be gunning for him. He seems to be an extremely knowledgeable chef – his main issue seems to be doing too much. I don't believe him to be cocky, just overly-defensive in his work, as they all can have a tendency to be.
I'm extremely enjoying this season, partly due to the fair attitude of the chefs themselves and their obvious camaraderie.
Let's see how long the camaraderie lasts when it gets closer to the end. Canora and others have already shown some signs of less than altruistic actions against their fellow chefs. It's easy to hug and seem sympathethic, but when the claws come out, it could turn nasty. I think that's what FN is hoping for in the early part of the show when the chefs critique each other – – makes for good ratings.
Best season yet – not just because of the contestants, but the quality of judging is superb. I'd like to see more of the judges' discussions.
My early guess for the winner – Bryan Caswell. This guy rocks!
Really the judging has been superb…so having a racist British critic is superb. That man is an embarrassment to the human race. The way he didn't even want to try chef Pagan's food is beyond me not to mention how rude he has been with most if not all the contestants at some point. In my opinion all these chefs are good enough to deserve to be judged by their peers. They shouldn't be subjected to the whims of "food critics" who are mostly known for being egotistical and have no real clue as to what being a chef is. These chefs are the best of the best and need to be judged by the best. Food Network should be ashamed to have such a negative and unprofessional judge but apparently having a douche as a judge increases ratings a la Simon Cowell shame on you!
I think Jeffrey had a stroke. He was getting very sad toward the end of last season on this and the other shows he was on.
I am hoping to see Chef Caswell for the win…or Chef Tio.
Chef Chauhan has a great personality too…always smiling, friendly with other team members and taking defeat easily. Not sure if the food she offers is consistently good. I mean, iron-chef quality?
Judges are awesome, despite Donatella's funny goof-ups like eating a hot pepper or banana peel! lol…
Chef Symon and Chef Simon seem to have conflicting opinions – and often too! :)
It is fun to watch Donatella flanked by two cherubic baldies….the trio is awesome. -
I'm glad Chef Estes got the boot. IMO, she should have been kicked off week 1…
i too am glad that estes was pulled out. i just started watching a few weeks ago, but was glad when that other chick was kicked out last week, and now estes. i felt that both their attitudes were just too annoying (trying too hard and unable to take criticism). although i do agree w/ other commentors that the show's editing highlights a lot of defensiveness and other emotions that might not be related to their actual responses.
i think the decision-making process is going to be tough with the remaining batch of contestants. it'll be exciting to see their culinary skill take them through to the next few rounds!
Totally agree Ernie! I think the decisions from here on out will be tough for the judges. And I too am glad that Estes is gone. I didn't like her attitude and did she only pack one shirt?
its not about the food anymore. its just for ratings. I would rather eat at a bbq
Of course it is for the ratings. This is FN, not PBS.
I think Donnatella's crack about the 80's food garnish was just to try to cover up her painfully embarrassing moment of eating a banana peel that was (1) Obviously a banana peel, and (2) It was obviously not a garnish, but a vessel. I've seen sea urchin served many times on Iron Chef. Not one of the judges (even donnatella) has made the mistake of trying to eat the shell. Why? Because it's obviously a vessel, not a garnish. I've seen food items served in Orange peels skins. No one eats the skins. Again, it's a vessal, not a garnish. I've seen items served on coconut shelll….yadda, yadda.
Neither of the other judges tried to eat the banana peel. Donatella just made a fool of herself and is trying to cover; she's done this before. It was another of her, "I'm an moron, but it's your fault" moments.
Amen brother. I thought it odd as well since more than a few times Iron Chef served inedible items on a vessel, and you really had to be an idiot to pick up a sea urchin and take a bite.
Chef Caswell should win. He has been one of their favorites every week. To be an Iron Chef, you have to be consistent. He's great!
I ate at two of his restaurants while on business in Houston (yes, two, I know), and the food was amazing!
Totally agree — my money is on Chef Caswell also! I think it will be a battle between him & Forgione
There isnt anyone on FN like Chef Caswell– just like one of the judges said: "He looks like a linebacker, but cooks like a ballerina"
Caswell did okay this week, not great. He came in #4 out of 6 contestants in the "Respect" challenge. Actually, he also did just okay last week in the Transformation challenge. I don't understand why the judges put him in the top 4 spot when his snow cone didn't taste good at all. In that episode, Tsai should have come in #3 or 4 because the judges enjoyed his dishes and I thought his dishes were creative and fun – they fit the county fair theme perfectly! Those 2 judges were dumb enough to eat the banana peel garnish! *eyes rolling* Donatella didn't impress me at all as a judge.

Can this be done?
Stock Bluetooth and stock jbl system. I have the phone synced but no music. How can it be done? Has anyone done it? I can not get it to pair the iPod aspect. I have been using it for quite some time now and am tired of cords in the truck.

Twice you've declared what the installer wants to do. That's the definition of second guessing (determining what they are going to do on their behalf -- as their second).
Most installers are well versed in what is required by code, DIRECTV and their employer. In my state, they are also expected to have Low Voltage Electrical licenses as well that further drives home the responsibilities as well as practical and safe ways of doing things.
Installers also have to give strong consideration to where the receivers are going to be located because there are some decided limitations to how much cable you can run without having to make special ($$$) provisions.
It is like the old addage: Fast, Good (correct) or Cheap: pick any two.
Emphatic No, not second guessing. Trying to determine what the installer will want - first guessing. I'm trying to set this up for an easier install, fewer snags. Time is money.
I believe this will be much more expensive than free. I understand the installer will not put the dish where I would like, out of sight. I will do what I can to correct that, before he shows, and this will cost me time and money. No question.
I WILL have the NEC compliant ground set up, ready for installation, without additional time and cost constraints to the installer. Get in, get out, get paid. I understand the installer's point of view, completely.
To me, second guessing is questioning a decision made by someone else. I want to set this up so that there is no decision to make. I want this to be an easy job, for the installer.

This is the Kahr T40 (their "target" or "tactical" model, designation depends on sights equipped). Target models are equipped with adjustable rear sights with hoods to protect the rear sight from impact, while tactical models are equipped with low profile Novak night sights. It features front and rear dovetails, although I wouldn't recommend trying to install any other sights, or move the current ones, without a professional grade sight pusher. They run the dovetails TIGHT. Capacity on this model is 7+1, which is the highest capacity .40S&W Kahr makes. All Kahrs are single stack guns.
It is a steel framed, DOA pistol with a match grade polygonal rifled barrel. Trigger pull is 6.25 pounds, with 1/2 inch of travel. This is similar to the Glocks, except that the reset point doesn't happen until you let the trigger all the way forward. Revolver shooters - this will make you feel right at home. The trigger is smooth, with no stacking. Due to the action design, you can't tell when the striker is going to be released. The striker is partially cocked by the slide going into battery, which seems to be the latest trend in firearm design.
The sear and drop safety lever are a one piece unit which rotates to the rear when the trigger is pulled. This results in the sear "slipping" off the striker in a rotational motion. You can't feel when the shot is going to break, which is very much the opposite to other striker fired guns (such as Glocks, M&P, Millenium Pro, etc.) in my experience, as most of the modern striker fired pistols push the striker in a linear fashion, then suddenly drop out of the way.
The gun weighs in at about 27 ounces. For comparison sake, it is .3" longer than my Kahr CW40, and about .4 of an inch taller. The CW40 is a polymer model and weighs almost 17 ounces. The T40 is wider in the grips, which feel a lot like a cross between a Hi Power and a S&W 39, than the CW40. Grip angle on all Kahrs will be welcomed by 1911 and Hi Power shooters.
Recoil is extremely controllable, follow up shots are quick, and the gun is incredibly accurate for it's size and action design. It balances very, very well in the hand, and isn't top heavy like the polymer models. This contributes to great handling and firing characteristics over the polymer guns.
All and all, I really like this pistol. For those that are looking at the Kahr pistols, the metal frames are a fraction of the weight of a 1911 for comparison, but are still controllable. The polymer models are a fraction of the price of the metal ones. I own one of both, and am a bit biased towards the steel gun, though I highly recommend the polymer models for those that aren't willing to spend about $100 more on a steel frame gun of the same model (although I do feel the price gap is MORE than worth it).

New Britain [December 05 2007] -
Steven D. Hanks, M.D., MMM, FACP, senior vice president of Medical Affairs and chief medical officer for the Hospital of Central Connecticut, was recently voted a director of the Board of Genomas®, Inc., a Hartford-based biomedical company.
Hanks, who joined the Hospital of Central Connecticut in 2004, is a board-certified internist who also practices as an emergency room physician.

Whenever someone is charged under a crime, it is not easy to move it out of the judicial system. The person who has been detained in custody has to face the continuous interrogation. It will be a nightmare, if you or your any family member is accused falsely. In such cases, it becomes really essential to take the assistance of a reputed Criminal Defense Attorney of Lawyersfreeadvice.com.
These lawyers are very skilled and will understand your problems. Many questions arise during the course of interrogation which may be used as evidence against you, and making a single mistake can cost you a lot. Therefore a good criminal defense lawyer is very much required who will represent you to defend the case, in order to prove your innocence. These lawyers handle the criminal cases that include DUI that is drinking under the influence of alcohol, property crimes, white collar crime, sexual offences, drug charges, domestic violence etc. Drunk driving laws differ from state to state. Property crimes are those crimes which include burglaries or theft. White collar crimes consist of improper accounting and tax avoidance, whereas the sexual offense includes rape or misconduct with a minor. A drug offense comprises of the possession, selling and trafficking.
Remember, bioidentical hormone therapy like what's created by your local compounding pharmacy and any problems arising out of such treatment does not fall under criminal law. It would fall under med mal or defective drugs. My favorite local pharmacy is The Healthy Choice and even though the owner was telling me no known lawsuits have ever arisen from BHRT, if it did, it would fall under tort and negligence law.

Ask Riven
((All you can do is upvote that post. 9000000/10 ;_; ))
(and this ladies and gentlemen, is why riven remains my favorite champ in lol)
Ask Fortune
Riven, did I ever tell you the story of Captain Jacobs and his skeleton crew? You see, Captain Jacobs was a merciless pirate who terrorized the open seas aboard his ship, the Cutthroat, the fastest ship ever built. One day, his crew attempted a mutiny, after they couldn't stomach what they had been forced to do any longer. Too much of a coward to fight them, Captain Jacobs set fire to the galley, and escaped aboard the ship's only lifeboat. With no food or water enough to survive the long sail home, his crew died at sea, leaving a ghost ship to the mercy of Davy Jones for four long years. Alas, the tables turned on Captain Jacobs. He lived a lie for a family and town that had no idea who he was. When his pirate rivals finally learned he no longer had his famed Cutthroat, they openly attacked his home. His family was murdered, his town burned to the ground, and he was taken to a tiny mound of sand and marooned. Facing death, he looked out to sea, and on the horizon, he spotted, yes, that's right, the Cutthroat. He found the strength to swim to his ship, and found it molding, decayed, and his men rotted into a skeleton crew, seated around the table as if all was well in their final days. It was a foggy dusk in Bilgewater when a dozen of the very same pirate ships threatened to take our port by force. They ruthlessly laid siege upon us, when suddenly, through the fog, came the Cutthroat. Pirates and guards alike screamed the coming of the pirate ghost ship. Most of the pirates turned tail and sailed off, but the largest was too far into our bay to flee. The captain, who had marooned Captain Jacobs, ordered all cannons to fire at the Cutthroat. But, broad side facing the stem, very few of the cannonballs hit their mark. Standing on the stem, famished, cackling like a madman, Captain Jacobs let his ship ram the pirates. In the madness to follow, Captain Jacobs drew his blade, charged the helm, and cut down the leader of the pirate siege. Nobody dared venture near the ships for two full days. They were smashed together, but by some miracle, neither ship was taking on water. Finally, the guards sailed to the Cutthroat and boarded her. They ventured down into her, where they found Captain Jacobs, sitting at the head of the table with his cutlass rested in front of him. He was near death from dehydration, barely able to lift his arms. His crew was still seated at every chair. As the guards took aim at him, unsure of what to do, Captain Jacobs grabbed his cutlass off the table. With his final words, he looked the guard captain dead in the eyes, and said, I've taken enough from you, don't tax your people the cost of your bullets. And with his last ounce of strength, he cut his own throat, and rejoined his crew in death. Why am I telling you this? Well, one, I love dead pirates. But two, today, Captain Jacobs' sins are barely remembered, they're a footnote of who he was. All people recount are his final acts to save Bilgewater. Set the helm forward, Riven. Don't spend your time trying to make up for the past. Worry about what you're doing now. It's all any of us care about, and it's all any of us will remember.

A controversy is brewing over the construction plans of a new Main Street restaurant and the city's greenspace plan. The problem appears to stem from the definition of the word "greenspace."
The Braza Brazilian restaurant on Main Street, which is still under construction, is attempting to create an outdoor dining space on a sidewalk bulbout. But two plans submitted to the city have been turned down, because they didn't meet the greenspace-plan standards. A third plan will be handed over next week.
"This is ridiculous," said Larry Fineberg, Downtown Improvement District (DID) chairman. "This is everything that is wrong with dealing with the city."
Ernie Ritz, DID vice chairman and head of Ritz Construction, which is building the restaurant, said he didn't understand why the first two plans did not meet greenspace standards.
Those standards ask that new development increase the quantity of greenspace, but if the quantity of greenspace is reduced, then it must increase the quality of the greenspace.
"I put in 148 square feet of pavers," said Ritz. "I'm taking out seven Indian hawthorne plants that only collect cigarette butts and replacing them with more than 210 new plants. But they say I'm not improving the quality of the plants."
Dr. Clifford Smith, city senior planner, said quality doesn't apply to the actual plants, but to the design of the plantings — for example, the bulbouts approved for the intersection of Main Street and Palm Avenue.
Plants and trees will be placed in raised planters there, which provide additional seating space and pedestrian walkways, so people don't walk directly through a plant bed. Smith calls it an urban design — a design that was lacking in the Braza restaurant's first two plans.
Smith said they only added new plants on a smaller pile of dirt.
"I think that's where the confusion comes in," said Smith. "Plants are inherently temporary. The design is permanent, and that's what matters."
Both sides seem to agree that improving downtown is their common goal.
"In the end, we want to see this become a success," said Smith.

.:Christmas Wishes:. +AkuRoku+Christmas WishesIt was his first Christmas with the organization. Roxas was trying to brush his hair, but the pointy blonde locks didn't want to be flat. It was actually frustrating him. He left the mirror to choose what he would wear that night. He looked in his closet, but it discouraged him. He didn't like to wear elegant cloths He looked at his clean jeans. '' This will do '' He put them on and took off his shirt. He looked at the closet and then at his bed. There was a pale blue shirt with a paper on it. '' It was in my wardrobe, but I think it will look better on you, Axel'' Roxas looked at the size of the shirt and smiled at the thought of Axel wearing it. It fit number XIII perfectly. He went to the mirror and was satisfied with the result. His eyes looked bluer than the sky with these clothes. It was 7:56 by now. He hurried out of his room; he was supposed to be at the hallway at 8 o'clock.On his way, he saw Demyx and Xigbar giggling in a corner. Number IX was wearing a bla

Namine shouted through the throng of teenagers. It only took her a few seconds to make her way over to me.Lunch room; wanna come? I smiled at her, even though I wanted to frown. I already knew she wouldnt come, but being the masochist that I am, I asked.Sorry, Im meeting up with Kairi. Everyone I knew seemed to have paired up with someone. I wasnt jealous.

What was wrong with his other home? The big city was a nice place. Not only did he leave his friends behind but his memories as well. But what could he, a mere 16 year old boy do? He only shook his head and decided to at least give the place a chance if not less."Isn't it nice honey?" She smiled."I guess..." He mumbled, following her up to the door holding onto his stuff. Sora looked around at the furnishings and looked like he was about to gag. "Wh-wha...th-th...is that a fireplace?""Yes?""Mom...please tell me this place has electricity..." He groaned, feebling holding onto his Playstation 2."Of course it does sweetie." She pointed up at the
Griffin Rider: Making CampTheir party made good progress that first day. Caleb had never worked closely with either of the taurian races, however he'd heard stories of their amazing stamina and much to his shame they exceeded even Bracken's steady and inexhaustible pace. The others of course rode with the wagon...except for the gnome who sometimes floated alongside it and at other times vanished all together only to reappear somewhere up ahead waiting for the group to arrive. The centaur in particular seemed to take great offense to Duulingknopf which seemed only to encourage the gnome to further acts of depravity. He even buzzed past Bracken once during the journey yelling: "DUUUUU!" as he flashed by. The poor griffin had jerked and hissed in agitation and it was all Caleb could do not to take a try with his sling at knocking the gnome from the air.Thankfully the rest of the party was more tolerable. Ikras proved to have a musical side to him, producing a set of the pipes that his people were famous for and p

Sorry about the possible infection. I recently had stout that got Acetobacter and after bottling underneath it you could barely taste any difference. To answer your question on how to bottle it, try a racking cane (), which is a hard rigid L shape piece of plastic attached to a plastic hose that you put into the carboy and suck the beer out with (not your mouth, try looking up 'siphoning beer') into your bottles or secondary. Best of luck.
One other thing. First time I had an infection, I siphoned all of my beer into a 5 gallon pot, put the lid on and boiled for about 5 minutes. After it finished I added 2 pounds of dry malt extract and repitched some more yeast (as the boiling kills the yeast). It then set for another week. I then bottled it and it tasted ok. I think it lost some of its alcohol when I boiled it, and it probably screwed with its flavor, but it was drinkable. Has anyone else ever done this? If so, other than the negatives I pointed out, and the potential to waste a fine/perfect beer, are there any other considerations or why this may have been a definite no? I was thinking pasteurize. Hope this helps.
